AE M&R® Roller Squeegee (w/ PTFE Sheet) 16"
16-inch roller squeegee with PTFE sheet designed for compatible M&R® automatic screen printing presses, helping smooth printed ink surfaces, reduce texture, and improve the finish of printed garments.
Characteristics
The AE M&R® Roller Squeegee (w/ PTFE Sheet) 16" is a specialized screen printing accessory designed for use with compatible M&R® automatic printing equipment. The roller squeegee provides a controlled smoothing action across the printed surface, helping create a flatter, more uniform ink deposit and an improved finished appearance.
Equipped with a PTFE sheet, the roller squeegee creates a low-stick barrier between the smoothing assembly and the printed ink. This helps prevent ink from adhering to the roller assembly while allowing pressure to be applied evenly across the printed area. The result can be a smoother print surface with reduced texture, particularly when working with applications where a clean, refined finish is desired.
The 16-inch width provides coverage for a variety of common garment graphics while maintaining controlled contact across the print area. When used with the appropriate press setup and printing process, the roller squeegee can help improve surface consistency and overall print quality.
Designed as a production accessory for professional screen printing environments, the AE M&R® Roller Squeegee is well suited for shops looking to enhance print smoothness and consistency on compatible M&R® automatic presses.
